2008 Jaguar XKR Portfolio
* New special edition XKR Portfolio offers even greater technology and luxury to customers seeking the ultimate sports coupe or convertible.
* Unique exterior styling revisions include 20-inch polished Cremona five-spoke alloy wheels, polished aluminium side power vents and Celestial Black paint.
* Advanced aluminium construction, 420bhp supercharged 4.2-litre V8 engine and six-speed Jaguar sequential shift transmission with paddleshift for superb dynamic performance.
* New high-performance braking system with 400mm front discs and 350mm rear discs – the largest ever fitted to a production Jaguar.

* First production Jaguar to use new Bowers & Wilkins speaker system exclusively crafted for XKR Premium Sound system.

Jaguar Cars is adding even more appeal to the ‘must have’ XKR with the unveiling of the all-new special edition Portfolio model. The 4.2-litre supercharged sports car will be sold worldwide and each one will feature notable additions to the already strong specification of the XKR, which is capable of hitting an electronically controlled top speed of 155mph and can accelerate to 60mph in just 4.9 seconds (5.0 seconds for the convertible).

The XKR’s already powerful sporting styling cues – an enhanced front bumper, bonnet louvres and aluminium-finish grilles and side power vents – will remain and exclusive Celestial Black exterior paint and 20-inch polished Cremona five-spoke alloy wheels add to the overall presence. Read Article

Yes, it's DSG, but the ZF might be the quickest non-automated-manual. I don't know.

Looks good, the 20 inch wheels is a great addition to the look. Still don't know if I would buy an XK for this price range. The 6 series or SL would probably be my choice.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but from these pics it looks like the nose of the XK has been thumped forward from the body and the headlamp cover has been carved to flow along the line of the bodyline coming into the front bumper. Look carefully and you guys will see what I mean. or checkout seriouswheels.com for bigger pics.

ZF Six speed but I believe it has rev matching downshifts.

I'd get a 6 Series. At least the Jag looks nice.

XK is supreme.

If you can't afford an SL, it really is the way to go. Unless you really need rear seats.

Then go buy yourself a CLK or 6 Series. 6 Series's rears are oddly small for its size- about 4 inches less legroom than the ones in my car. My car is ten inches shorter.

If you CAN afford an SL, get an XKR instead!
